Overview
A major hotel rebrand and redesign has completed its first stage, as Courtyard by Marriott Sydney-North Ryde officially relaunches as Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park. Featuring a new guest experience, expect a host of modern updates – with more planned for the near future. More of a refresh than a revolution, this initial phase has seen rooms, various public spaces and the culinary offering given a thoughtful uplift.
From the restaurant and bar to conference and event spaces, a light restoration has given these amenities a little more polish than before. Whether you're staying for work or leisure, a more refined experience awaits. The rooms have also received early enhancements like 55-inch Smart TVs, while organic and vegan skincare by Antipodes will soon be added to guest bathrooms.
What comes next is more significant, with a second phase seeing guest rooms and public spaces transformed to reflect Crowne Plaza's upscale reputation. In the works is a complete makeover of the lobby and welcome area, with design changes bringing chic furnishings and a contemporary ambience. All 196 rooms will also undergo an update to create more comfortable and flexible accommodations, with both corporate types and holidaymakers in mind.
Bistro, the on-site restaurant, hasn't been overlooked either. In the coming months, executive chef Sahil Sabhlok will unveil a gourmet dining experience, building upon the venue's modern-Australian cuisine. As a sneak peek, one dish on the menu is Sabhlok's signature slow-cooked beef short ribs with celeriac, pickled white onions and mustard. Now with sleeker decor and an al fresco dining area, Bistro will make for a refined feast.
"This is an exciting time for the Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park as we start to welcome our first guests. Our vision for the hotel is to create a place that appeals not just to hotel guests, but also to the local community and business hubs in Sydney," says Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park hotel manager, Toby Paul.
Making this aspiration a reality is undoubtedly possible considering the hotel's central location. Offering easy access to Sydney CBD, Sydney Olympic Park and Lane Cove National Park, the property is also easily within reach of several key business hubs, shopping destinations and outdoor attractions. In fact, Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park is just around the corner from the new Metro line, making a trip to the city a breeze.
Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park is located at 7/11 Talavera Rd, North Ryde. Head to the website to find out more.
